As previously announced, the ‘Patches for CentOS 5’ and ‘Patches for CentOS 6’ sites are to be deprecated by December 31, 2016. These sites are being replaced by the ‘Patches for CentOS 5 Native Tools’ and the ‘Patches for CentOS 6 Native Tools’ sites, which are more efficient at handling third-party packages.
Baselines and custom sites that are associated with the non-native tools sites are affected by this change. The source Fixlets will still be visible, but no new content will be provided. Support will also no longer be provided for the non-native tools sites beyond the stated date.
Actions to take:
-
Subscribe your endpoints to the following CentOS Linux sites to avoid any disruption during patching:
-
Patches for CentOS 5 Native Tools site
-
Patches for CentOS 6 Native Tools site
-
If you are using baselines or custom sites, you must create new ones with the native tools sites.
